Description

The invention relates to a chair with a functional fitting according to the preamble of claim 1.

There are armchairs known, for. B. under the brand name "Stressless", in which the pivoting into a lying position by weight transfer of the user takes place both on the seat part and on the backrest, whereby the seat part pushes forward while the backrest pivots backwards. For the storage of the legs or feet of the user of such chairs an ottoman is assigned.

As a footstool is relatively bulky, demands are made to equip such armchairs with a swing-out legrest while maintaining a sleek design.

The problem with this is that such chairs usually have open side armrests, so that the view of the seat cushion is free and any hanging down under the seat cushion leg rest would disturb the appearance of the chair.

From the DE202006010071U1 is a proposed solution for this problem known, it is disadvantageous, however, that this solution is hardly suitable for a variant in which the seat part and the leg rest of the chair have a continuous Posterung.

From the DE2531877 is a so-called "wall-free" chair known, in which the seat part for the pivoting of the chair pushes forward in the lying position, the disadvantage here is that the footrest can not be pivoted parallel under the seat part, so that no "floor-free" design given the armchair.

The invention is therefore based on the object, a chair of the generic type so that in armchairs in which for pivoting the chair in the lying position, the seat part is pushed forward, a "floor-free" design of the chair by a parallel swivel under the seat part Leg rest is achieved and at the same time extending over a seat part and leg rest of the chair, continuous postage exists.

This object is achieved with the features listed in the protection claim 1. Reference to an embodiment of the invention will be explained in more detail.

The accompanying drawings show in a schematic side view in

1 a chair according to the invention in sitting position,

2 Armchair according to 1 , in intermediate position,

3 Armchair according to 1 , in intermediate position,

4 Armchair according to 1 , in lying position,

5 a chair according to the invention in sitting position,

6 Armchair according to 5 , in intermediate position,

7 Armchair according to 5 , in lying position.

In the figures, an inventive armchair with functional fitting is shown.

The armchair consists of a body with optional armrests and / or a swivel base ( 2 ), a seat part ( 3 ), a backrest part ( 4 ), a chassis ( 5 ) and a swing-out leg rest ( 6 ).

The leg rest ( 6 ) includes two pivotally mounted on the seat part ( 3 ) hinged, arranged parallel to each other approximately L-shaped rails ( 1 ), the longer legs ( 1b ) of the L-shaped rails ( 1 ) in the sitting position approximately parallel to the seat part ( 3 ) are arranged, wherein the respective shorter leg ( 1a ) of the L-shaped rails ( 1 ) with its free end on the seat part ( 3 ) is articulated and a telescoping leg rest element ( 6a ) in the longitudinal direction of the longer legs ( 1b ) of the L-shaped rails ( 1 ) is arranged movable.

According to the invention, it is provided that a first ( 7 ) and a second handlebar lever ( 8th ) with their respective first ends on the seat part ( 3 ) and with their respective second ends on a control lever ( 9 ) are hinged, and the control lever ( 9 ) with its free end hinged to the telescopic leg rest element ( 6a ) connected.

In the 1 - 7 , two different chair variants are shown, which have in common that for pivoting the chair in the lying position, the seat part ( 3 ) pushes forward.

For the pivoting of the leg rest ( 6 ) during the forward sliding of the seat part ( 3 ) is an actuator according to the invention ( 10 ), which preferably one on one of the control lever ( 7 . 8th ) pivotally connected actuating rod ( 10a ) having.

The operating rod ( 10 ) is between two end positions relative to the seat part ( 3 ), wherein the displacement of the actuating rod ( 10a ) a pivoting in or out of the leg rest ( 6 ) with simultaneous retraction or extension of the telescopic leg support element ( 6a ) causes.

The displacement of the actuating rod ( 10a ) relative to the seat part ( 3 ) can be done in various ways, such as one with the operating rod ( 10a ), hand-operated levers, or in accordance with 1 - 4 by connecting the actuating rod ( 10a ) to a between seat part ( 3 ) and backrest part ( 4 ) effective transmission ( 10b ), or according to 5 - 7 by connecting the actuating rod ( 10a ) to an extension ( 10c ) of a two between chassis ( 5 ) and seat part ( 3 ) hinged handlebars.

According to the 1 - 7 is due to weight transfer of the user on the seat part ( 3 ) and / or on the backrest ( 4 ) the actuating rod ( 10a ) relative to the seat part ( 3 ), while by the connection of the actuating rod ( 10a ) to the handlebar lever ( 7 ) the leg rest ( 6 ) and at the same time the telescopic leg support element ( 6a ) is extended or retracted.

According to the invention, the goal of a "floor-free" design of the chair is thus achieved with continuous, upholstered seat part and leg rest for use in armchairs, in which the seat part pushes forward during the pivoting of the armchair into the lying position.
